	Center for Veterinary Medicine, Food and Drug Administration	Guidance for Industry: Evaluating the Safety of Antimicrobial New Animal Drugs with Regard to Their Microbiological Effects on Bacteria of Human Health Concern This guidance document presents a risk analysis methodology for evaluating food safety considering potential microbiological effects of antimicrobial new animal drugs on bacteria of human health concern. It outlines a qualitative risk assessment methodology including release assessment, exposure assessment, consequence assessment, and risk estimation. Some risk management considerations are also discussed. There is an appendix entitled "Ranking of antimicrobial drugs according to their importance in human medicine".

	Woteki, Catherine	Nutrition, Food Safety, and Risk Assessment -- A Policy-Maker's Viewpoint Remarks prepared for delivery by Dr. Catherine Woteki, Under Secretary for Food Safety, before Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, June 18, 1998. This speech describes the process of risk assessment, including how it fits into the risk analysis process and the strengths and limitations associated with risk assessment. Two examples of the application of risk assessment are given: development of tolerable upper intake levels for nutrients and risk assessment for Salmonella Enteritidis.

	National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods, Office of Public Health and Science, Food Safety and Inspection Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture	Response to the Questions Posed by FSIS Regarding Performance Standards with Particular Reference to Broilers (Young Chickens) This document addresses questions regarding performance standards for pathogens, particularly Salmonella, on broilers. Includes discussion of the use of risk assessment in the development of performance standards, the use of indicator organisms for measurement against a performance standard, consideration of variations when developing performance standards, issues associated with the development of quantitative standards, and alternatives to the current performance standards.
